Call for Workshops and Tutorials @ Fourth Conference on Language, Data

Date: 13 September 2023 (Workshop/Tutorials day), 14–15 September 2023 
(Main Conference)

==============

We are inviting proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held on 
September 13, 2023, in conjunction with the fourth biennial conference 
on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK 2023) in Vienna, Austria. Building 
upon the success of the previous events held in Galway, Ireland in 2017, 
in Leipzig, Germany in 2019, and in Zaragoza, Spain in 2021, this 
conference will bring together researchers from across disciplines 
concerned with the acquisition, curation, and use of language data in 
the context of data science and knowledge-based applications.


    Submission Guidelines

We welcome workshop and tutorial proposals that are of relevance to the 
topics listed below. All submissions should be _in English_ as a single 
PDF file no longer than 4 (four) pages, following the LNCS file format. 
For details on the LNCS style, please see Springer’s Author Instructions 
<https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines>. 


The decision on acceptance or rejection of a workshop proposal will be 
made on the basis of the overall quality of the proposal and its appeal 
to linguistics and knowledge-based communities. Other factors, such as 
overlap with other workshop proposals, or issues regarding logistics, 
will also be taken into account when making the final decision.

Submissions should include the following details:

 1. Title of the workshop or tutorial
 2. List of organizers or tutorial presenters: List the names,
    affiliations, and home page links, and provide short (one-paragraph)
    biographies for all workshop organisers or tutorial presenters.
 3. List of topics: For workshops, provide a list of topics of relevance
    to the workshop. For tutorials, provide a detailed outline of the
    topics that will be covered.
 4. Detailed description: Provide a 200-word summary that motivates and
    describes the list of topics in further detail.
 5. Past workshops or tutorials: Describe any previous editions of the
    same workshop or tutorial, along with an estimated size of the audience.
 6. Format: Describe the proposed format for the event
    (physical/virtual). For instance, for workshops, describe the
    envisioned mix, i.e. invited talks, submitted paper presentations,
    poster sessions, panels, or demo sessions. For tutorials, describe
    to what extent the tutorial will consist of slide presentations vs.
    practical hands-on training.
 7. Expected audience: Describe the expected size and composition of the
    audience.
 8. Duration: Indicate if the workshop or tutorial is planned to last
    half a day (4h) or a full day (8h).
 9. Technical requirements: List any special requirements, such as
    audio-visual equipment, poster boards, etc.
10.   Committee members: For workshops, if available, provide a
    preliminary list of people who have agreed to serve as program
    committee members.
11.   References: List relevant publications.

Accepted workshops will be required to prepare a workshop website 
containing their call for papers and detailed information about the 
workshop organisation and timelines.

Each proposal will be reviewed by the workshop and tutorial chairs and 
relevant members of the organising committee of LDK2023 and ranked based 
on the overall quality of the proposal and the workshop’s fit to the 
conference as detailed below. In particular, workshops should address 
research topics that satisfy each of the following criteria:

 1. The topic proposed by the workshops should fall in the general scope
    of LDK2023.
 2. The workshop’s target should be clear and anchor a specific
    technology, problem or application.
 3. The aim of the workshop is to attract a broad community of
    interested individuals.
 4. The format of the workshop can invite various types of contributions
    (oral and poster presentations) and can be accommodated in
    online/hybrid settings.
 5. Workshop proposals on /emerging topics/ are encouraged.


    List of Topics

  * Fundamental technical and theoretical problems of language data /
    linked data and knowledge graphs.
  * Applications of language data and semantic web technologies in
    domains such as law, medicine, life science, digital humanities,
    mobility and smart cities, etc.
  * Research areas that have been largely neglected or underrepresented
    in language data and semantic web studies.
  * Other research areas relevant to language data to language data and
    semantic web research (such as data science, artificial
    intelligence, big data analytics, human-computer interaction,
    natural language processing, and information retrieval).
  * New /emerging topics/.

We encourage diversity in the organising and program committee: from 
different institutions and the presence of young researchers and Ph.D. 
students. At least one of the organisers should be registered to 
LDK2023. All organisers (presenters) of accepted workshops are expected to:

 1. Have their own (open) reviewing process and take care of their
    publicity (e.g., website, timelines, and call for papers).
 2. Workshop organisers will be asked to:
     1. Attend LDK2023 in person (at least one organiser).
     2. Closely cooperate with the Workshop Chairs to finalise all
        organisational details.
